Naked naked naked. **** it. I wanna show off the beauty of this phone. Don't know why people put screen protectors. It ruins the quality of the display. Cases? Ruins the feel of the phone. I like it like this.

Makes sense why you'd want a case. To protect the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] addonelam:
Love the feel of the soft touch rubber.

The backing -- the soft touch rubber backing.

Its pretty nice and the flip cover has a little hole in it for the front speaker.

I used to carry it around naked - but only until silvester when it fell on the ground and broke the screen (though at that point i've used a screen protector)

By now i've changed the screen and now I'm using the ultra hybrid slim case from spiegen with the glas.t nano screen protector by spiegen and i have to say it feels much more comfortable than I thought!

LOVE the feeling of the phone naked, but am too paranoid about damage, particularly with the protruding camera lens.

Currently using a Spigen glass screen protector (feels GREAT - well worth the $$ for a real glass protector) and a Grey Ringke Fusion Case which looks nice with my white Nexus.
[Nexus 5 General] Torethyr:
Naked. I only use a case if its got a glass backside to keep it from scratching when setting it down. I've wanted to use my N4 without a bumper case since I got it but don't want to ruin the back.

I've tried two bumper covers and a wallet-type thingy, plus a couple of dBrand skins. I always go back to naked, though with a screen protector. My missus, whose sole tech item is a five year old Samsung flip-phone, actually complained that the green dBrand skin ruined the look of it (it's a white one) so I got a carbon-fibre edge trim and use that for added grip.

My Nexus 5 was Naked for the 1st week I got it. I also got a free screen protector from 1 of the girls who worked at the T-Mobile store that day. Then yesterday I got this Nice Maxboost Kickstand case for my phone and I love it. I watch a lot of media on my phone since I have unlimited data so I found it very useful while also protecting my phone.

Spigen Slim Armor w/ Tempered Glass

I like to keep things looking stock, or maybe as clean and simple as possible by having the most protection, while also spending very little money, and adding very minimal bulk to the phone.

In this case, i have picked a Spigen Slim Armor (All Matte Black) and also a Tempered Glass Screen Protector since i do a lot of Cycling, and full-contact sports and i prefer to keep my phone with me.

The slim armor is very thin, yet it provides a very good lay-on-table design which i really need, so when i do drop the phone, i know that one of the four corners are a bit more elevated so nothing will hit the actual body or glass. It cost me around $23 including shipping and it is authentic.

As for the glass, I know the Tempered Glass screen protector is very fingerprint-proof, scratch-proof, and highly durable, yet i still hate taking risks. If my phone does fall off my pocket when I'm mountain biking and decides to hit a rock or a root screen first, shattering the screen protector would last me a decent amount of time while I get a replacement one which would only cost me another $8, preventing scratches from the actual glass. Not too bad.

It gives the same look and feel as the CORNING® GORILLA® GLASS and people do not believe that i have a screen protector on due to the very minimalistic look that it gives.

Overall, i love this combination. For around $30, it's very clean-looking and provides very good durability for my type of lifestyle.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding to where I got them.

Cheers :good:
[Nexus 5 General] farsight73:
Isn't our Nexus 5 screen is made of corning Gorilla glass3 that can withstand scratch and tough from shattered? Ok put aside shattering, but scratch is no way our nexus would get right?
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Something with the same hardness can scratch it such as sand and maybe even dust particles in your pockets. Keys and coins will not though that would be bad for the plastic casing still.
[Nexus 5 General] lloydlim996:
Yup it does come with gorilla glass, but like I said, I do mountain biking which caused me to replace my iPhone screen and rear glass about 2-3x

[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I dont have a Nexus 5 yet but after work today, I will. I've decided that it is happening. lol. Just like my Galaxy Nexus, it probably wont have any case or screen protector on it. I havent really seen a case for the Nexus 5 that made it look better than it does without it. And like others have said, the screen is pretty hard to scratch unless you are careless with it. Plus, I'll be getting insurance on the phone for if I ever do crack the screen (which I have never done). Cases in my opinion just take the beauty out of the design.
[Nexus 5 General] tokuzumi:
My nexus 5 is "Out for delivery", according to UPS. I already have my Cruzerlite clear TPU case, waiting for the phone to arrive. I'm also probably going to leave the factory screen protector on as long as I possibly can. I hope the "Nexus 5" across it won't interfere with my usage too much.

I used our device for a month with no case, but every time I set it down, I was afraid I'd damage the rear camera lens. The android authority drop test also showed our device is easy to break.

Got the spigen slim armor and I feel a lot better when handling the device in general. I'm no longer terrified of a drop, and the camera lens is recessed and elevated, so I don't worry about setting it down either.

[Nexus 5 General] regius:
went naked for a month, and today I dropped it on hardwood floor and managed to crack it's screen. I'll fix it and then I will get a decent bumper case. this things are really easy to break. No screen protector though. Never had one on my N4 either, and did not scratch it, evet thoug that phone had it's fair share of falls on pretty much any surface.
[Nexus 5 General] Arrar:
This is the first phone I used protected with PU leather flip cover. Reason being all my previous phones got scratched badly in a month or two. The screen could be protected with a plastic film but I fear for the camera lens which is sticking out of the body. So far the phone is scratchless after one month. :)

I decided to go with CruzerLite Bugdroid. It does not add to much bulk, feels great in a hand and survived one quite delicate drop. Highly recommend

[Nexus 5 General] pearlbrian:
I wouldn't call it slippery. It is similar to the backing on the actual phone. Maybe a bit more rigid.

The reviews noting that the lock/volume buttons are tough to depress are no joke, though I don't find it to be a problem. I could see weak fingered folk having trouble though.

I wouldn't rely on that. Gorilla Glass is scratch-resistant, not sratch-proof. It's always better to use a screen protector.

Just gotta have a case and screen protector on it. My kids love to grab my phone when I'm not paying attention and they have dropped my previous phones all the time.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

Well that was a very incorrect answer. People use these things called dimensions to build products. It's how phones are made in the first place. Spigen had their cases ready before nexus 5 was out, and it fits like a glove. Tough to find a case of this quality, especially for $10.
[Nexus 5 General] can6rxw:
Naked is fun:good: But after I get over the initial newness o f it, I put a bumper on it, a case that has a bumper and clear back so I can see that beautiful white back with NEXUS written on it, or a flip case. I really want that white flip case on Google though. That would look sic!!!! I find I have clumsy fingers and drop my phone if no case is on it.

[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Exactly. Its a weight lifted off your shoulders to use a case. Sending your phone to LG for a month and paying $125 for the privilege is no fun.
[Nexus 5 General] Ibkevin:
Amen to that man! Take it from me, the guy who owned a case for my N5 but preferred it naked and kept taking the case off cause I just couldn't get used to one, and liked it better without, then of course I had an accidental drop while being naked and now have a crack across the top of my screen and need it replaced! And guys believe me when I say it was NOT a far drop by any means, and yet it still managed to crack! As much as I absolutely love my N5, the build quality is def lacking, which is to be understood and allows for that quality pricing we all love about the Nexus line. I have a white N5 and idk if I'm right or not?, but in my opinion, having held both black and white versions, I honestly think the build quality on the black device is a little better than the white one. It could just be me but anytime I've held the black one, it just seemed and felt like it was better built than the white. Especially the frame/sides of the phone. Idk if its just the soft touch feel that does it or if it really is a bit tougher of design to the black one but there def seems to be a difference in quality if u ask me, but that's just my 2 cents.
[Nexus 5 General] freak4mobiles:
